What use is reentrancy in a routine that does not call Lisp and can't
be called in interrupts?
The question need not be answered. We want a meaningful and clear way
to distinguish this function from `string-match'. The fact that it is
reentrant is a good way to distinguish. The name looks good.
Anyway, such a function should likely _return_ the corresponding
match-data (rather than setting a global variable to it), and things
like match-beginning should optionally take an argument for this
particular match-data.
That is a good idea. If there is no match, it returns nil; if there
is a match, it returns the match data.
